Hiv Aids

The multiple impacts of HIV/AIDS as a disability were examined. Six specific impacts, including social, psychological, spiritual, medical, financial, and vocational were found to have the greatest effects on people who have HIV/AIDS. A review of the literature found that these impacts differed across four population groups; 1) people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, 2) people who use intravenous drugs, 3) women, and 4) people with hemophilia. Specific social and psychological impacts were highlighted for each population group. Implications for rehabilitation counseling practice were discussed. An interview with an individual who has HIV/AIDS and hemophilia was completed to qualify a theoretical-based literature review, to enhance the reader's understanding of the multiple impacts of HIV/AIDS, and to illuminate an experience with disability. Particular interview comments are not highlighted, but interwoven in the text, to insure confidentiality.

Rehabilitation counselors need to be aware of a change on the horizon in the way psychotropic medications may be prescribed. A debate is ongoing in state legislatures on whether psychologists should have prescriptive authority over a limited formulary. Changes to existing prescription privilege statute may affect the future of rehabilitation practice as rehabilitation counselors may expand consultation regarding clients' medication schedules and monitoring from psychiatrists and physicians to include psychologists. This paper examines both the case for and against that right to prescribe, as well as the potential changes to rehabilitation counseling practice that result from granting psychologists the privilege to prescribe.

On September 25, 1972, at San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Delegate Assembly of the National Rehabilitation Counseling Association adopted a draft of a Code of Ethics for Rehabilitation Counselors. The provisions of the Code were based on responses from many members of the Association who had been invited to report ethical dilemmas they had encountered and to suggest acceptable solutions to those dilemmas. A first draft was published in the Summer, 1971, issue of The Journal of Applied Rehabilitation Counseling. Many additional members responded to the invitation to suggest changes in that draft. It was a revised version of the first draft that was adopted at San Juan.While the vote for adoption was almost unanimous, there were some questions raised during the discussion at San Juan and during the three years that the Code was in preparation that should be shared with all Association members. The questions might be placed in three generic types: (a) Does the profession really need a code of ethics? (b) Can a profession that is generally composed of persons who are employees, as opposed to private practitioners, reasonably expect to set its own ethical standards and abide by them? (c) Would it not be preferable merely to state some very broad principles of ethical behavior and refrain from defining for the members what those principles should mean in practice? The attempt will be made here to summarize the apparent rationales of these questions and what seemed to be the conclusions of the Delegate Assembly concerning them.

For nearly 50 years, the specialty area of forensics has emerged as an established practice setting in rehabilitation counseling, and it is predicted to be the fastest-growing area of practice in the profession. Reflecting the increased number of practitioners in the specialty, the revised Code for Professional Ethics of Rehabilitation Counselors names Section F (Forensics and Indirect Services) as a guide to the ethical practice for rehabilitation counselors in this specialty. The section includes 17 standards specific to clients' and evaluees' rights, rehabilitation counselors' forensic competency and conduct, forensic practices, and forensic business practices. Furthermore, the unique relationship of the forensic rehabilitation counselor with the person receiving services is clarified through the introduction of the definition of evaluee, a term that has gained unilateral agreement throughout the field of forensic rehabilitation.
